About this episode

In this episode, Isaac Padilla discusses essential skills for men in their 20s to develop for a well-rounded life.

Your 20s are the time to build yourself into something useful. Not later. Now. In this episode I talk about the skills that every man needs to be developing right now. Fighting. Fishing. Hunting. Cooking. Cleaning. Learning how to eat right and actually take care of your body. Getting your spiritual life in order. Building real relationships. Understanding your own emotions instead of running from them. Most guys cruise through their 20s without learning any of this and then wonder why they feel lost at 30. The truth is nobody is going to hand you this stuff. You have to go get it. You have to put yourself in uncomfortable situations, learn things the hard way, and actually commit to becoming a well-rounded man. Not just strong. Not just spiritual. Not just smart. All of it. These skills aren't optional. They're the foundation for everything. For being a good husband. A good father. A man your family can depend on. If you're in your 20s right now, pay attention. If you're past your 20s and you skipped some of this, it's not too late but stop wasting time. Download the Catholic Warrior app and start your 7 Day Free Trial. catholicwarrior.com
